Lycosidae Book Review Summary

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Lycosidae

An experiment to breed wolf spiders that will hunt and kill rats produces more spectacular (and scary) results than anticipated. Some of these Super Spiders escape from the lab and create a new species of predator on earth.
The main focus of the book seems to be the transformation of an ordinary group of people into "spider hunters" they develope techniques and skills that allow them to effectively battle these creatures. Kind of like Ghost Busters but more serious. Fast paced. A good beach read.

A secret experiment with genetically enhanced wolf spiders is being conducted in a remote jungle laboratory in South America. These arachnids are being bred to hunt rats in hopes of helping to curb an alarming rodent problem in some South American cities.
The only problem is the technology is proving harder to control than anticipated and some of these creatures have found their way out of the lab. Suddenly there is a new player in the food chain...at the top.
Now Irene Glasser, the manager of radiation control at Seaside Nuclear Power Plant, and her staff are faced with the reality of dealing with a nightmare none of them could have imagined existed.
Can Irene and her friends overcome these creatures, a corrupt corporate structure and a hostile government in a small South American country?
Will Irene finally find romance with Greg Stone, the handsome plantation owner who is battling the same forces a continent away.
This book is set in both North and South America. The main locales are a jungle lab, a US Nuclear Plant and a large South American city.
Ralph Wright's familiarity with the nuclear industry gives this book a feel of authenticity.
